83:1 {A Song; a Psalm of Asaph.} O God, keep not silence; hold not thy peace, and be not still, O ∙God:

83:2 For behold, thine enemies make a tumult; and they that hate thee lift up the head.

83:3 They take crafty counsel against thy people, and consult against thy hidden ones:

83:4 They say, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, and let the name of Israel be mentioned no more.

83:5 For they have consulted together with one heart: they have made an alliance together against thee.

83:6 The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites, Moab and the Hagarites;

83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia, with the inhabitants of Tyre;

83:8 Asshur also is joined with them: they are an arm to the sons of Lot. Selah.

83:9 Do unto them as to Midian; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the torrent of Kishon:

83:10 Who were destroyed at Endor; they became as dung for the ground.

83:11 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb; and all their chiefs as Zebah and as Zalmunna.

83:12 For they have said, Let us take to ourselves God`s dwelling-places in possession.

83:13 O my God, make them like a whirling thing, like stubble before the wind.

83:14 As fire burneth a forest, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire,

83:15 So pursue them with thy tempest, and terrify them with thy whirlwind.

83:16 Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah.

83:17 Let them be put to shame and be dismayed for ever, and let them be confounded and perish:
